What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is part of traditional Chinese medicine, a medicine that has been practiced for over 2500 years. We stimulate specific points on the body to restore the energy balance. The points can be stimulated by needle, pressure, cupping, laser or moxa (heat). Acupuncture has an effect on pain (for example, by increasing blood circulation at the site of injury), but also acts on internal disorders.
